Crossbow deer

[deermanok]

This is my 9th season hunting with a crossbow since getting a handicap permit when I lived in Connecticut.
Last evening I took deer number 22.
My little Excalibur Grizzly hasn't let me down yet.

Congratulations! I'm feeling the need to get my Excalibur Ibex out again next year.

What is everybody’s favorite broadhead with a crossbow? I want to get them for my 16yr old grandson for Christmas if I can find them?

I like the Rage 100gr, 2 blade design. They fly well for me and have been good on game. I use the 2 in cutting diameter. Also have a pack of the hypodermic version I need to try.

I killed my only deer with a Slick Trick, 3 fixed blades, without looking I think it was 125 gr. they shoot flat in my Excalibur Ibex.

Another good fixed blade design is the G5 Montec broadheads. Two of my friends use those on their Excalibur's.

 

[deermanok]

I like the Slick Trick standard, 4 blade, 1 inch cut. 125 grains. I also use Swacker heads, 2 1/2 inch cut, I think? 125 grains.
These are the only 2 heads I ever used.

I use the G5 Montec 100grn on my bow and my crossbow.

 

[Hatchet Jack]

Congrats on your Xbow deer.
I am a fan of Slick Tricks and Swhackers as well.

 

[toytruck]

I had to go look an the Slick Trick I have actually have 4 fixed blades instead of 3. I couldn't find the package (usually keep it) now I'm thinking they are 150gr...I don't think the 125 gr were available when I got them. One nice thing about crossbows if you have a yard in the country one can practice anytime.

My first crossbow bow deer this year too, after a shoulder injury prevented me from pulling back the compound bow. G5 Montec original fixed three blade 100g. with cut outs in blades. I have seen tests with the new G5 3b with solid blades. Those tended to plane off target more.
Another good one is QAD with 3 replaceable blades.

Great shot! Congratulations!

 

[deermanok]

Congrats, good for you.

deermank ya done good! Congrats! Bought an excalibur matrix 310 3 years ago. Just shot it at the range. This year I decided to hunt with it because I have been struggling with cataracts. Took a nice doe using shwackers. Very exciting.
